Black Legion Film
Thrills At Rialto
Lifted directly from the banner
lines and news columns of the dally
papers of a few weeks ago Is the
thrilling melodrama "Black Legion."
which opened a three-day run yes
terday at the Rialto theater.
This production was begun a few
days after the press revealed that
such a secret organization was ope
rating In Michigan, and was con
cluded, according to studio officials
on the very day a Detroit Judge sen
tenced the hooded order's officials
to life imprisonment.
As timely as today's newspaper,
"Black Legion" gripped the interest
and won the applause of deeply
moved audiences at the Rialto. If It
were purely a fictional story, it
would have been an excellent movie.
But containing, as It does, so many
close parallels to the truth about
the dastardly nignt-riders, it has
tremendous additional power a a
social document.
"Motor Madness." a light, airy ro
mance of speed-boat life featuring
Rosalind Keith and Allen Brook,
plays as the added attraction with
"Black Legion."

Norma Shearer and

Cast Craterian Hit
Stark drama, stiletto sharp young
love, tender, fierce, all-eonsuming.
daring Intrigue, glamour, hate and
strifs beauty, the poesy of OI1
Verona.
All this suffused with the glow of
historic tradition and the centuries'
acceptance of the mastery of Wil
liam Shakespeare.
That, in sum, Is the rich, rare
stuff of which "Romeo a.nd Juliet."
which opened yesterday at the New
Craterian theater, haa been woven.
From the loom of Holl ywoort s
studios, with its array of creative
personalities, has come a work of
expression embellished with element
of appeal, with mingled charm and
skill, that demonstrates again the
motion picture as the dominant art
the best medium of narration, re
creation that has yet been evolved.
The perennial modernity of the
love theme, and the curious capacity
of the screen to make all that ever
was In any yesterday a living event
of today, has never been more acutely
exemplified than In "Romeo and
Juliet."
That relentless hate and feud of
Montague against Capulet, and Cap
ulet against Montague, classic of
long ago, is on the screen a strife
of today.
Much thought and care are ap
parent in the production so skill
fully has the story been brought to
the modern trend. This vital quality
of the picture makes It an experi
ence of adventure, a atory of thrill
and suspense no matter how familiar

one may be with the plot.
Performances by the principals
shoulder each other for mention.
Norma Shearer's Juliet Is warmly real
and Leslie Howard's Romeo compares
favorably with his best previous por
trays;. John Barrymore's Mercutio
Is one of the outstanding characteri
zations, amply confirming all ad
vance reports of his excellence. Basil
Rathbone's proud, ruthless Tybalt
is sound, dramatically powerful. C.
Aubrey Smith, Ralph Forbes, Violet
Kembie Cooper, Edna May Oliver
and Henry Kolker are otheri who
distinguish themselves.
The meeting of the 111 starred
lovers, the famous balcony scene,
the marrlsge chamber sequence,
Juliet's soliloquy aa she contemplates
the death potion, and the memorable
tomb sequence are contrasted vividly
with the duels, street clashes and
personal conflicts.
